Table 4-1 Descriptive statistics about the participants Participants Profile Players Age Range in Age Coaches Average Years Coaching 9.7 (0.55) years 8 – 12 years 5.59 (4.57) years Qualifications/Accreditations Held % League % Union No Relevant Qualifications 5 6 Introductory Courses Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Other Relevant Qualifications 14 Modified Games Coach 62 Club Coach 14 Senior Club Coach 5 High Performance Coach 63 Smart Rugby/ Foundation BEd (Physical Education) 1 19 13 18 0 Table 4-1 also gives a detailed overview of the coaches who participated in the study, including the highest level of relevant qualification or accreditation they held. A pleasing observation to make from the table is that only two coaches in total (representing 5% in League and 6% in Union) had no relevant coaching qualifications. Table 4-1 also reveals that the average number of years the coaches have been coaching is 5.59 years. A more detailed breakdown of this can be seen in Figure 4-1, which clearly indicates that the majority of coaches have been coaching for more than 5 years, which is a positive finding, however a down side of this maybe the limited number of coaches who are new to coaching.

This notion was explored more in the semi structured interviews where 51% of the coaches revealed that they started coaching because their son was in the team. Further analysis of the data revealed that, of the 51% who started coaching because their son was in the team, 68% have coached for 4 years or more. This leads support to the idea that a significant number of coaches continue to coach because their children are in the team. A complete breakdown of why the coaches in this study started coaching can be seen in Table 4-2 Table 4-2 Self reported reasons why coaches started coaching Why the Coaches Started Coaching % of Similar Responses Son in the team 51 I was asked 15 For the love of the game 13 I finished playing and want to stay involved 8.5 I want to pass on knowledge (teach) 6 It is part of my job (i.e., Development Officer) 4.5 I was not happy with the existing team coach 2 Junior Community Coaching Report December 2009 31
